Pro tip from me (a pro): Never buy flash drives that aren't one metal body. I have broke a 128GB flash drive simply by putting a tad bit too much pressure on it and misaligning the USB connector. It now doesn't work. I also injured one by misaligning the usb in the plastic case. It still works but isn't ideal.

Even if it is one plastic body, the plastic will chip away with insertions. My SanDisk Ultra Dual is in rough shape because of the weak plastic. Meanwhile my SanDisk Ultra Dual Luxe (the metal variant) is still pristine.

Also, don't buy cheap flash drives if you wish to use them frequently. They have terribly slow speeds even if they use a USB 3.0 interface. They might work okay as install media which you only need to use every few months or years, but they have painfully slow write speeds.

Edit: Yes, I know the metal drives have thermal issues. But thermal issues are better then losing the entire drive because the casing chips away and exposes the connector to things that eventually kill it.

Why would they have thermal issues? If anything, they should dissipate heat better than plastic drives.

Look… I almost failed high school chemistry.

What will be achieved once this is completed is that the installed app disappears and cannot be downloaded again, thus breaking the cycle of digital piracy

You can't break the cycle of digital piracy. Information wants to be free. Going against digital piracy is going against the grain of technology. But I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. Support those who create it. Not publishers or ebook lending companies

Over 500 Gigabyte

Which is 0.0005 petabytes. Nowhere near a PB lmao

I just now noticed it says tumoil instead of turmoil

I mean... I would hope not. Artists work hard to make NFTs. You should respect that by downloading the image in full resolution and quality rather then screenshotting it.

Those are two seperate issues really. You can abolish IP but a company could still produce products that aren't repairable

I like to believe that if anyone else succeeds in cracking Denuvo, they will become as insane as empress in the process

Other than TorrentFreak.

Ever heard of TorrentFreak? I hear its the best

I don't think OP is asking for DCPs, they just wish that you could purchase an mp4 file of a movie

That site is an absolute mess!

Empress making Torvalds' old communication style look perfectly normal

Huh?

Meanwhile my grandpa still uses deemix

Like 50GB of music

Rookie numbers. I got 50GB of fonts

I actually keep a list of works that I've shared online that would've likely been lost without my intervention. Physical-only Bandcamp releases that I've ripped and shared. Sample packs that have been taken down from webstores, etc. The Internet isn't forever people. Better archive what you can

Awesome I'll be sure to apply

DRM employed by streaming services has never made it less trivial to download new movies and shows. I can still get all the shows and movies I want just minutes after they release on streaming. DRM just hurts paying customers.

they will endlessly scroll algorithmic ai-generated incomprehensible horrors on Tiktok

How is that much different from scrolling Lemmy? They are both social media

18gb is nothing at the end of the day. Roms are small. It's the same thing with my 50gib font collection, its a lot of fonts, but little file size

Plex shouldn't have access to your self-hosted services in the first place. My Jellyfin can't be shut off by the Jellyfin project maintainer. My LibreOffice can't be uninstalled from my computer by The Document Foundation. At least... they shouldn't ever be expected to.

I'm sure those videos are already out there

*grabs piped bot and pushes them down*

Here's an alternative CCC link:

I download the Top 10 on public trackers periodically just to seed. Free storage space is just wasted

When I ran out and there was nothing I wanted to delete

Ngl roblox kinda ##### and their moderation is #####

I've never posted any pictures of my face online. But I'm sure many data brokers have them. And some family members many years ago I'm sure posted some.

primarily music though some people share films as well

Also fonts. So many fonts

I mean it is a fine launcher. Personally I use Pie Launcher cause I'm a bit insane. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.markusfisch.android.pielauncher/

For like thousands of dollars you could store a small sized image on the blockchain itself. Of course that's not practical

I actually have downloaded some nfts as jpeg because its the highest quality I could find of an artwork I liked

Yeah, for real. You're the family.

Exactly. Signal is private, not anonymous

Plex (co) has taken rather drastic action by blocking entire VPS providers from reaching plex.tv

Why is that the fault of those selling Plex shares? That's the fault of Plex for taking that drastic action, and even having the power to disable access to their software which is self hosted on a VPS.

Yes... but what tracker would you recommend for uploading the torrents to? I know I'm not OP but I've been thinking about dvd ripping lately too

it will ruffles the NFT owner’s jimmies.

Will it? I'm sure anyone actually creating an NFT will know how the technology works
